Cannon blasts from the past as Civil War reenactors visit Lakes Middle School

For two days this week, Civil War reenactors from the Washington Civil War Association taught students about the technological advances to guns in the 1800s, field medicine practices and games and recreation of the time period. For two days, the group demonstrated different muskets, swords and sabers as well as the items used for relation in the 19th century. Lakes Middle School students grabbed toys at a Civil War station, including wooden guns, hoops and sticks and a pull of war knotted rope. “Those are loaded up with 100 percent lethal imagination,” reenactor Logan Creighton said of the wooden dueling pistols.
